Author's Reply to Letter to the Editor

I appreciate and read with interest the Letter to Editor by Jackson entitled “Moving the Issue of Renal Dietitian Forward: An International Perspective,” which is a response to my article “Moving the Issue of Renal Nutrition Forward,” in the September 2012 issue of the Journal of Renal Nutrition. The letter presents an opportunity to make a few brief observations. First, the involvement of dietitians in Australia with increasing the number of patients using home dialysis modalities is admirable and something that their international counterparts can perhaps strive to replicate. Along with having survival advantages, the home modalities can also potentially enhance the nutritional status of patients. Also worthy of duplication is the innovative use teleconferencing by Australian dietitians, which decreases their travel time, but increases patients' access to their professional services.
